Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

we have met the leaker and he is we

“The president has plenary authority to do whatever the fuck he pleases with ‘classified information,’” she wrote in an email.

i think the comparison to a president sharing/declassifying the nuclear launch codes with say, north korea, is a good one. it wouldn't be illegal for a president, right? i tried to do a quick fact check on that but googling "can the president legally share nuclear launch codes" just opens up a hole in the ground containing a giant slide to a room with no exit with infinite slapping hands

"mcmaster: he has the right to disclose this information, but don't worry he has no idea where it came from or what the implications of its disclosure might be"

i mentioned this above. this is the excuse all last night. he is a newborn baby and doesn't know how anything works.

which is a really sad and scary excuse.

yeah whew, it's reassuring to know that there's nothing in the rules that says a president can't be dangerously incompetent and have no idea what they're doing with critically important things - thanks, herbie ray mcmaster!

i'm so shocked when Ann talks dirty

It increasingly seems that the POTUS has carte blanche to (as Ann says) to whatever the fuck he wants AS LONG AS it doesn't violate his oath of office.

I feel like we need to do some patching before the next update.

I gave my step-mother-in-law a pat on the butt once yet I have not told her my friend's secrets. i guess id be a shit president?

What’s more, Coulter argued, unlike his predecessor, Trump has been able to keep his hands to himself around Eastern Europeans. “At least Trump forbore, unlike Obama, from placing his hand reassuringly on the soviet ambassador’s thigh,” she wrote./

ahem

Heh. But you omit that Ivana was also an import.

Anyways my nominee for next thread title is "Priming the Trump."

You're welcome.

Kellyanne is annoyed!

Imagine those fingers curling like fries around those quotation marks

yeah uh none of that is a denial that she said what she was reported to have said

"I have complete confidence in..." is the usual pre-betrayal line, Kellyanne; pls try to keep up.

One of the better lines from a GOP Senator of late

Sen. Tillis: "If it is true that info was shared w/ the Russian ambassador then it seems to me it should be ok to share with U.S. senators."

— Tarini Parti (@tparti) May 16, 2017

that would be a cold burn if Tillis had a brain

It is possible a synapse flared.

to level a charge of treason you only need two witnesses to an act of someone giving aid and comfort to the enemy. according to the constitution. i looked it up.

treason is raising taxes on the wealthy iirc

The sec of state also has broad declassifying powers i think and republicans were still upset about hillarys forwarded emails to huma abedin.

So weirrrrrrrrreredrdeeerefvvv

come on, we have always been at war with Huma Abedin

Hope someone asks Spicer about this!

Per NYT, the info that Trump blabbed came from Israel.

That won't make the upcoming trip there awkward at all!

that was my guess

can see Bibi wanting Pence

50 Shades of Pence

It takes three books for him to work up the courage to sit down to dinner with a woman who isn't his wife. But it's soooooo hot when he finally does.

Rampant enthusiasm!

Corker asked if Trump can still be trusted with classified info. Pauses, shrugs, "sure."

relevant to ilx's interests

a modicum of good news: Cornyn has withdrawn from consideration for FBI director, so unless Trump picks Rogers his choice won't be NAKEDLY political.

having said that, he'll probably just say fuck everything and pick Giuliani.

chuck norris or gtfo

I have a feeling more and more of the potential candidates have been looking at the last few days and going "Um...maybe not."

That won't make the upcoming trip there awkward at all!

"Of course, no one would ever want that-" Spicer says, then stops, in response to a question about damaged credibility.

it was israel's intelligence.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/16/world/middleeast/israel-trump-classified-intelligence-russia.html

You know, part of me would be A-OK with the US/Israel relationship, which has been really, really fucked up and toxic for a whole lot of years, being permanently ruptured by this asshole and his asshole team's relentless assholishness.

this is the guy Israel wanted, don't forget
